A great step in the right direction for the future of our profession in New Brunswick.

Allied healthcare workers like pharmacists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and dentists play an important role in caring for New Brunswickers. A new investment in the training of future health professionals will ensure access to education for these crucial positions and take us a step closer to New Brunswickers getting the care they need, when and where they need it.
